It was the original "Bullet Proof Heart" by their earlier incarnation as Fingerprintz. <br />I think Duffy's a better singer than Tanner but not a bad comparison.MikeMCSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225624258826057505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831600293526763878.post-11978580758382964092013-08-03T01:57:26.476-07:002013-08-03T01:57:26.476-07:00I was listening to another obscure 80s band (The S...I was listening to another obscure 80s band (The Silencers) on Spotify, and the Bolshoi came up as a "if you like these, try..." type thing. A lot of the time, they sound like the Mission fronted by Stephen Duffy.D.C.

Nice bit of synchronisation! The first album isn't too bad, "Sunday Morning" in particular is great, but it sounds like they had lost their way by this point. D.C.
